Academic Writer Job Description

Academic Writer Job Summary

An academic writer writes in order to fulfill a requirement of a high school, college or university. Academic writing is also used for publications that are read by teachers and researchers or presented at conferences. A very broad definition of academic writing could include any writing assignment given in an academic setting.

 

An academic writer needs to observe the following structure:

 

INTRODUCTION:  In the introduction, you must grab the reader’s attention and identify the thesis of the paper.

 

You can do this by starting with:

 

• Several questions
• A quote from a famous work or person
• Some interesting facts or information
• A definition of an important term related to the work

 

BODY: This is the main part of the work and the paragraphs must be clearly written and be arranged in a logical order, like chronologically or in order of importance. Each initial sentence links the preceding paragraph and the whole section flows smoothly.

 

Within each paragraph, the sentences need to flow and refer back to the topic. Cohesion is    achieved by repeating important words, using synonyms for the main subject, and using transitional words like: however, such as, therefore, and for example.

 

CONCLUSION: In the conclusion, you re-emphasize the thesis and summarize all the main points. The conclusion consists of one paragraph which shows the final conclusion to the reader.
